Saccharomyces cerevisiae

◐ Food-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a yeast species best known as baker's yeast and brewer's yeast, used in food and beverage production for thousands of years. Unlike the related probiotic yeast S. boulardii (classified by some as a subspecies), plain S. cerevisiae strains are not generally characterized as probiotics in the clinical sense and do not have a recognized probiotic evidence base. No strain-specific papers linked to this entry were identified in the research index; the species is relevant to microbiome research primarily as a food-associated microorganism and model organism, not as a documented probiotic supplement strain.
